Tamiya F104 Graphite Performance Upper Deck - F104-12/WO by 3Racing  [F104-12/WO]

Graphite performance upper deck for F104 setups

This graphite upper deck is engineered for Tamiya F104 chassis applications and is specified as LiPo usable by the product name. It functions as the structural top plate, interfacing with the chassis rails and battery compartment to tune torsional stiffness and battery clearance without modifying drivetrain geometry or electronics layout.

Compatibility and fit

• Declared compatible with the Tamiya F104 platform; verify hole alignment against your chassis and confirm battery bay dimensions before installation.
• Designed to accommodate LiPo packs as noted, but confirm LiPo dimensions and connector routing to ensure secure mounting and no interference with control linkages.

Installation notes

• Install using existing chassis mounting points; position the deck to align all fastener locations and start screws loosely to check for uniform seating and clearance across the frame.
• Tighten mounting hardware in stages after confirming alignment and battery fitment so the deck seats flat and does not induce preload or chassis twist.

Tuning role and handling effects

• Graphite increases torsional rigidity relative to flexible top plates, sharpening turn-in and reducing flex under cornering loads; treat this as a chassis tuning variable when setting up the car.
• Shifts in stiffness and battery placement will alter centre of gravity and handling balance; perform incremental setup changes to dampers and antiroll settings to re-establish predictable behaviour.

A performance-oriented graphite upgrade for the Tamiya F104 chassis that supports LiPo installation and refines chassis stiffness; validate fitment and tuning adjustments on test laps.
